Google Now beats Siri and Cortana as the best digital assistant for cheating on a pub quiz

One of the biggest new features of Windows Phone 8.1 is Cortana, a digital assistant alternative to rival Apple’s Siri and Google Now.

Although currently a US-based beta, thanks to Cortana, Windows Phone users that upgrade to the latest update or download the developer version can ask their phone to make calls, offer travel advice and do a whole lot more without even having to type or open an app.
